Flash 8 FLVPlayback Skin Problem

I have a rather interesting path issue going on. Here's the structure of my Flash application:

-root
-container.swf (which loads in the below files)

+subfolder

+subfolder
-SWF's (one contains the video, one is the skin)
+subfolder
-SWF's (one contains the video, one is the skin)
+subfolder
-SWF's (one contains the video, one is the skin)

When I load container, it subsequently loads home.swf. If I click the button for any video, the video, nor the skin loads. However, if I click the button to reload the same SWF file again, the video and skin loads fine.

I've checked all my code to make sure I'm referencing everything correctly and I am. I'm baffeled at the moment. I read one Adobe tech note about putting the skin in the same directory from which the HTML file was being called, but that didn't solve the problem.
